HSE Development Programme until 2030

The HSE Graduate School of Business has received international accreditation to deliver the Project Management course in accordance with the IPMA ICB 4.0 global standard.

In 1968, American mathematician Paul Chernoff proposed a theorem that allows for the approximate calculation of operator semigroups, complex but useful mathematical constructions that describe how the states of multiparticle systems change over time. The method is based on a sequence of approximations—steps which make the result increasingly accurate. But until now it was unclear how quickly these steps lead to the result and what exactly influences this speed. This problem has been fully solved for the first time by mathematicians Oleg Galkin and Ivan Remizov from the Nizhny Novgorod campus of HSE University. Their work paves the way for more reliable calculations in various fields of science. The results were published in the Israel Journal of Mathematics (Q1).

The AI and Digital Science Institute at the HSE Faculty of Computer Science hosted a conference focused on cutting-edge recommender system technologies. In an atmosphere of active knowledge sharing among leading industry experts, participants were introduced to the latest advancements and practical solutions in recommender model development.

Experts from HSE University took part in the BRICS Academic Forum (FABRICS) held in the capital of Brazil this year. The main theme of the event was to discuss cooperation among countries in the Global South amid geopolitical turbulence and rapid technological change. Academics and experts from BRICS member states and partner nations explored topics such as global healthcare, AI technologies, trade, climate change, and reform of the multilateral global security and governance architecture.

Scientists from Yandex, HSE University, MIT, KAUST, and ISTA have made a breakthrough in optimising LLMs. Yandex Research, in collaboration with leading science and technology universities, has developed a method for rapidly compressing large language models (LLMs) without compromising quality. Now, a smartphone or laptop is enough to work with LLMs—there's no need for expensive servers or high-powered GPUs.

Researchers at the HSE Faculty of Computer Science have developed a new approach to modelling data storage systems based on generative machine learning models. This approach makes it possible to accurately predict the key performance characteristics of such systems under various conditions. Results have been published in the IEEE Access journal.

The Graduate School of Business at HSE University and Alfa-Bank have signed a cooperation agreement aimed at developing educational programs in the field of business informatics.

The team at MIEM’s Game Engineering and Interactive Systems studio has begun open testing of the second version of its game engine, Claw Engine. The HSE News Service takes a closer look at the product, which is being developed by MIEM’s student project teams.

United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and HSE ISSEK experts have discussed the role of technology foresight in promoting a circular economy. 

At a meeting of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) Statistical Committee, HSE ISSEK researchers Gulnara Abdrakhmanova and Anna Demyanova presented a system for measuring the full life cycle of AI technologies, which allows not only to track the development and implementation of AI, but also to assess its impact on the social sphere.
